A TRIAC starts conducting when a current flowing into or out of its gate is sufficient to turn on the relevant junctions in the quadrant of operation. The minimum current able to do this is called gate threshold current and is generally indicated by I GT. In a typical TRIAC, the gate threshold current is generally a few milliamperes, but one ...
The threshold voltage, commonly abbreviated as V th or V GS(th), of a field-effect transistor (FET) is the minimum gate-to-source voltage (V GS) that is needed to create a conducting path between the source and drain terminals. It is an important scaling factor to maintain power efficiency.
In electronics, cut-off is a state of negligible conduction that is a property of several types of electronic components when a control parameter (that usually is a well-defined voltage or electric current, but could also be an incident light intensity or a magnetic field), is lowered or increased past a value (the conduction threshold).
Whether a device turns 'ON' when current is restored is a design issue. The current necessary to restore the circuit to the 'ON' state, called the "threshold current" (See threshold voltage), may be much greater than the holding current, or only very slightly more.
One example is the TRIAC, which is comparable to two thyristors connected back-to-back (in other words, reverse parallel), but on a single piece of silicon. Two LEDs can be paired this way, so that each protects the other from reverse voltage. A series string of such pairs can be connected to AC or DC power, with an appropriate resistor.
Once the voltage exceeds the turn-on threshold, the device turns on and the voltage rapidly falls while the current increases. A silicon diode for alternating current ( SIDAC ) is a less commonly used device, electrically similar to the DIAC, but having, in general, a higher breakover voltage and greater current handling capacity.
In the following example crowbar circuit, the LM431 adjustable zener regulator controls the gate of the TRIAC. The resistor divider of R 1 and R 2 provide the reference voltage for the LM431. The divider is set so that during normal operating conditions, the voltage across R 2 is slightly lower than V REF of the LM431. Since this voltage is ...
A TRIAC (TRIode AC), equivalent to two back-to-back SCRs, is a bidirectional switching device. A DIAC stands for DIode AC Switch. A gate turn-off thyristor (GTO) is a bipolar switching device. Electronic switches may also consist of complex configurations that are assisted by physical contact, for instance resistive or capacitive sensing ...
